I decided to make this thread since I frequently ask people in chatrooms this question. :)
babymim = my gf's name is Tim (yes, she's a female), I just changed it to "mim" since it sounds sweeter
kanahan = it means fool in the Visayan language (a Philippine dialect)
I've noticed a lot of id's based on Final Fantasy games and some seem to have theirs specifically made for Demon's Souls, like the ones with the word "demon" affixed to their name. lol. :)

Xlax3988 was back when I first got my PS3 freshman year in college. it was just kind of a username I used with friends in highschool that stuck.
IMABright was my roommate's PSN for Resistance 2. I just use it now as a secondary instead of making another one.

XtremeDeath >>>> thought it was cool.
xx_Umbasa_xx >> trying to be funny. In the game, every keeps praying to Umbasa. So, when I get summoned, they are summoning Umbasa. Some players like it. Otheres ignore it.
Under that account I have the characters: Umbasa, UmbasaJr, and Little Umba.

Scarecrow
03-13-2010, 04:02 PM
Scarecrow see it all (day in and day out). I know it's not directly related to god at all, but they're also in a cross. A badass name which fits in any kind of game.
luke31
03-13-2010, 04:29 PM

Demon Phoenix
03-13-2010, 09:26 PM
made this psn account back when ps3 first came out, my friend bought one and I made my account and I just kinda went on this whole theme with 2 other friends, one was Demon_Kerberos, the other was Demon_Dragon, so I was like hmmm Demon_Phoenix sounds kinda cool let's roll with it... just kinda cool that it happens to fit in with Demon's Souls
QuantumMercury
03-13-2010, 10:33 PM
Oh >_< mine is geeky. QuantumMercury because in grade 12 chem class we were doing quantum mechanics and I was doing study plan while setting up PS3 and the news was on in the background and it was saying something about fish in China and mercury poisoning...
Hahahaha, so lame XD
Cruan
03-13-2010, 11:26 PM
Cruan I thought this up a thousand years ago. It comes from the Irish word "crua" for "hard", which then I thought would make a someone whos tough. I later found that it actually is a word in Irish that means "enamel". Well...

03-13-2010, 11:30 PM
Spine-Fist. I like to tell people it's tongue-in-cheek, but when I came up with it, I actually thought it was cool.
I'm planning on making a second PSN soon named THE WHITE VOID, and invade with a Haku-men build, becaus it will greatly amuse me. I'm still working on how to make a Haku-men build, though. Darksilver Helmet is a must. I'm not sure if I want Greatsword or Makoto, though.
Slazer
03-14-2010, 06:22 PM
Slegan - Slade is my 1st name and Meghan is my GF's name. We usually name our video game saves Slegan.
Slazer - Some guy at work called me Slazer once and I cracked up. I think he said it was some Dj's name or something.

Figured I'd use my name before someone else took it.
TheUnflinching
03-15-2010, 06:58 AM
TheUnflinching, because when I made my PSN ID, I played Dissidia alot too. Gabranth's 'Ex-Burst' included 3 attacks: Fulminating Oblivion, Ruin Unflinching and Frost Purge. I really liked the word 'Unflinching' the game taught me, so that's why it's TheUnflinching.
Decaying Corpse
03-15-2010, 09:06 AM
Well I wanted to use : Decaying Corpse but would not let me..
That was the name i used during my Shadowbane days..:very_sad:(figured it was a good name for someone playing a MMO game...wasting away..)
So when it came to my second choice (at the time i figured i could just change it later..lol)
PSN: Decay40 was what i came up with..kinda lame
I am 40 years old....:frown:

Morrigan Stark
03-15-2010, 01:19 PM
PSN ID is the same as forum username; I've used the name Morrigan ever since I've had the Internet, named after the Celtic goddess of war. Whenever I sign up somewhere and Morrigan is taken, I add a suffix. So far I've used Sedai (I regret it since I hate Wheel of Time now :P), Stark and Targaryen.
kaijura
03-15-2010, 01:43 PM
Nice to see you around still these days Morrigan!
Well, my psn is =/= to my forum name since it was taken already. But my char names are all the same even though it can't be seen.
kaiju (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiju)ra. It's pretty much english for monster. 'Nuff said.
Morrigan Stark
03-15-2010, 09:18 PM
Howdy. Yeah, I was on a cruise ship this past week, so no DS for me during that time. But I'm back now and still addicted, so, yeah... >_>
kaijura
03-16-2010, 10:23 AM
Haha. Sounds fun.
I noticed from the forums so far, seems like it's 1-2 months for the average DS'er before they poof. Wasn't sure if you were gone or not too. :yawn:

Don't mix beer and tequila, I misspelled my Id because of it, the meaning behind it is just what fans of a rap group named psycho realm can be identified as.

03-16-2010, 05:08 PM
viscious2323.......Was playing God of War and fell in love with the game but more importanly Kratos the character, hence the relationship with the tag. I was born on December 23 so that's where the numbers come from.
In the End, there will be only chaos

Wow. i remember running into you on DS, i think xD. Anyway, -waves- Kamusta Pare. xD.
uhhhms, xRetsu.. Well. the x is there simply cause it HAD to be 6 characters minimum D=
Retsu is something i deprived a few years ago. Thought i'd made it up till i found out it was actually a handsign for the manipulation of time and space. (Y).
I usually write it as R3TSU or Retsu. haha x]

03-17-2010, 12:25 AM
My surname is Rock but not enough characters and most likely already taken so I stuff the "avitch" to the end just because it sounded good in my head, not that exciting a story on my part to be honest.

AlThor83-Well, my favorite character from my favorite book series is Rand al'Thor. PSN wouldn't accept only althor, so my birth year seemed as good a number as any.

Mayhem stands for.. well the translation is simple! but the whole reason is my old guild on world of warcraft called Project Mayhem.
The Q(^_^Q) Basicly stands for melee combat as it is a KBS user for pvp :>

Mine's from a line in "Alien" - the film. It also applies to my avatar, the scientist replicant in the same film. Like the film and it sprang to mind when I first picked it.
larssa12
03-26-2010, 06:42 PM
No real reason really, my friends call me larssa so I went with that.. Only it was already taken, so I added 12 (one, two), which makes some people think im 12 years old.. Oh well, lol.
pointchiz
03-26-2010, 09:59 PM
Pointchiz is my PSN iD.
When I was younger I use to smoke weed quite a bit. The pieces that came in the little bags were sometimes chizzled into smaller pieces. Conversations use to start with... "Hey bro, I need a pointchiz". This was followed by chizzling a little peice off. Don't ask me why we called it that. :)
a2thecs
03-27-2010, 01:49 AM
Ugh my story is pretty lame... my name "a2thecs" is pretty much just a wanna be cool name with my initials. It wasn't planed to be something crap like this but all the good names I had in mind were taken already :(. So since then I just use this because I know that noone is as stupid as me to have such a sucky username. And guess what... I'm right because I had never problems to make a new username somewhere since I have this. Such a shame... :/
seandamon211

DarkShinigami
03-28-2010, 10:23 AM
DarkShinigami= Dark God of Death, It just sounds soo cool in my head, Its a shame that now "Shinigami" is one of the most used words in nicknames almost everywhere I go. I blame bleach for that :mad:
GONZA42= My first name is Gonzalo but everyone calls me Gonza so...
42 means many things to me, first it literally means "Death" in japanese nad is a very very bad luck number. Other reason is that my favorite number has always been "4" for some reason, and I just like ow it sound 42 in my head :)
Finaly, but not least, 42 was the meaning of life in the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie that I saw some years ago and well... I just couldnt resist anymore.
After that I use 42 at the end of Darkshinigami sometimes, and other times 44...
(If you were wondering, I do love numbers :))

twigster xd
03-28-2010, 02:52 PM
Have been called Twig or Twigster all my life from family and friends. Since there are SO many people who use that nick I added the XD because I used to play pokemon games with my nephews and pokemon xd was a cool game back then.
goatamus

onlotus
04-01-2010, 11:52 AM
In Charles’s Angels the movie Drew Barrymore beats up everybody in the room and says “Buddha Onlotus” I have used onlotus ever since I heard her say it.
Stillchaos is the one I use now. I came up with it when I was younger. When I was sitting still so many thoughts would run around in my brain it was like chaos. Which brought forth Stillchaos.

kurado_4202
05-01-2010, 10:07 PM
kurado_420, should be sort of obvious to ANY final fantasy nerd, back when i started gaming final fantasy 6 was the first game i owned, but my nintendo got destroyed when the basement flooded so my parents got me a playstation for my b day and a copy of final fantasy 7, long story short "kurado" is how the protagonists name; Cloud, is pronounced in japanese, 420 is for april 20th..... my favorite day of the year
Corroder
05-02-2010, 07:53 AM
Corroder = is a killer from Clock Tower 3 (PS2). he kill his victims and dissolves their corpses in stolen acidbarrels. he´s based on a real killer (John George Haigh) from the 1940s who was called "the acid bath killer" (Number of victims:6 or 9 (i´m not sure))
I think it´s a really cool story and an intressting character so I decided to use his name in all my profils

SeikenZ
05-02-2010, 10:29 AM
The first Final Fantasy game I played on the PS1 was FF9. I played them in reverse order, playing 8 after and 7 as the last one.
In Final Fantasy 9 there was a brief moment where you could play as Beatrix, a general. She was capable of performing "Seiken" techniques, which means Holy(sei) Sword(ken). These included classic attacks such as Climhazzard, Shock and Stock Break. I found her character and techniques interesting, hence my choice.
Morrigan Stark
05-02-2010, 10:47 AM
I thought it was related to Seiken Densetsu. >_>

Final Fantasy IX was one of my favorite in the series, but I also thought that was a reference to the Japanese SNES trilogy.

Can't be helped I guess. It's only a very small reference from something out of Final Fantasy 9. I could say that even I'd relate it to Seiken Densetsu if I read it somewhere.

Nick = my name
Nintendo = I like to play nintendo.
1 = Nick Nintendo sounded wierd to me, so I added a "1" to make it flow better. When I need to sound smart, I tell people it's because my birthday is in January.
